East Java

The puffing volcanoes and rugged landscape of East Java is very pretty to look at and offers some brilliant trekking opportunities. The giant cloud-shrouded craters of Mount Bromo, Semeru and Ijen will offer some of the best sunrises across all of Indonesia, and for those that prefer to stay closer to the ground there are national parks, a handful of beautiful Hindu temples and a few off-the-beaten-path coves that are a surfers dream. The ancient city of Malang and the sprawling Surabaya will bring you back to civilisation en route to the wilderness of this naturally stunning province.

Travel Tip #89

The best place to swim in the sea in Bali is Jimbaran: you can swim in the sea at high or low tide during any season. There’s no coral and the water is shallow, sometimes there are small waves too, ideal for learning to surf. After a day in the sea, dine at one of the excellent barbeque seafood restaurants along the beach.

Customer Feedback

It was a little disconcerting to be met by a stranger who took our passports and $50 with the instruction of "wait here for me". However, the fact that he then fast-tracked up through customer and immigration was amazing - we felt like rock-stars!
